Team News: Beroe Stara Zagora
Due to a mostly available group of players, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Beroe Stara Zagora boss Josu Uribe to contend with. Stefan Gavrilov (Knee surgery) misses out for this game.

Prediction
Our assessment here is that Beroe Stara Zagora will really need to work well to find the net against this Spartak Varna lineup who we reckon should score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re therefore anticipating a 1-0 advantage for Spartak Varna at the end of the 90.
Hopefully it’s a good one.
